Following the first official teaser image of the new model, McLaren today issued the preview video as well as the second teaser image of new model which will debut at Paris Motor Show. While the official release says the company "shines more light" on the new chapter of its history, both pictures and video bring questions of what actually is coming next. Naturally, the new car will feature a sleek, highly aerodynamic bodywork, greatly emphasized front lights and two huge air vents on the front hood which will echo McLaren's badge. The car itself will be a muscular mig-engined supercoupe and reportedly will have a poer aggregate capable of developing around 900 bph.

A full video, previewing the next chapter for McLaren Automotive, has now been launched ahead of the British sportscar manufacturer’s first international motor show in Paris later this month.

The previously released image presented an initial outline of what was to come. The video – which can be viewed or embedded at the official McLaren Automotive YouTube channel (http://youtu.be/JttSo9WiiM8 – shows trails of light travelling over a seemingly invisible form, with the airflow creating a dynamic shape with dramatic visual effect.

The lightshow provides a glimpse of what will be unveiled at the McLaren Automotive press conference at 17.45 CEST (16.45 BST) on Thursday 27 September.
